Teens Charged in Deaths of Elderly Couple

Three teenagers from Marshall have been arrested in connection with the beating deaths of an elderly couple a week ago today. They’re facing charges of murder, arson, burglary, stealing, and armed criminal action. They’re accused of beating Richard and Jessie Shepard to death, then setting their bedroom on fire. More than 30 police officers from a rural major case squad had spent the week checking out leads before the arrests.
